Muslims make up about 1% of the US population. So we are discussing huge problems created by only 1%. Yeah, to be fair only a small percent of 1% support terrorism. But if we had 10% muslims, we would have a major terrorist act committed every few months. If we had 30% muslims, I guess we would have non stop war?

What about those HI-cap magazines?

Maybe you should just not answer jojo, since you have to provide a link to answer.....

Maybe you just don't know, maybe you just don't care and run with crap, without really learning about the actual problem.....
If you actually read the articles I posted, you might get your answers. Yes, I read to learn. Few people are born with knowledge about everything.

Now that the "You are Safe" speech is over - news will soon be released about the Money Trail for the Financing of the Radical Islamic Terrorists that massacred 14 in California.

So why is it OK to restrict one right of so called 'potential terrorists' but not others? Isnt it just as important to make sure that they cant speak? No internet or telephones for people on secret government controlled lists just in case.

No I'm not. The same list that you claim should not be used to keep people from buying guns is used to deny visas and airline travel, how is it ok to deny a person travel but allow them to buy a gun, that simply makes no sense.

Well they don't actually deny all people on that list. There are some Senators in Congress on that list but they get to fly, some high ranking military officers on that list but they get to fly as well.

There's some 5 year olds and 8 year olds on that list and they get to fly as well.

Air Marshalls are on that list and were prevented from doing their jobs...flying on planes !!!

It's just they have to go through a few hours of hassle at the airport before they are allowed on the plane.

How do you deal with all these false positives ?

How is it ok to deny a person travel but allow them access to the internet or telephone from which they could be recruiting on?

How about this. Subjecting fundamental rights to executive fiat is a terrible idea and is downright stalinist

There is now a process to get off of the list, that was not in effect when the 5 year old and Ted Kennedy were on the list. How does a person buy a gun if the FBI background check comes back showing that they were convicted of a felony or had been confined to a mental hospital - that happens too, but it's hardly a compelling argument to quit doing background checks.

Yes they were legal guns that were converted illegally and very easily, sounds like a good candidate for a ban wouldn't you agree.
